Change UITableView row height without dismissing keyboard

I have a TextView inside a UITableViewCell. The text inside the TextView can be edited right there in place.

The TextView grows and shrinks vertically depending on the number of lines the text contains. So far I haven't found a possibility to also let the row containing the TextView grow and shrink dynamically.
